4th Month
Tomorrow marks the 4th month for me as a SAHM.
Before I became a SAHM, and started asking around whether am I suitable, everyone gave me negative answer. My good friends says I don't have the SAHM calibre, my own mother says I can't survive without shopping and so does my own husband.
Hence, I decided to go ahead with it and prove to the world that I am a mother. So what can be so difficult being a SAHM ?
I was wrong.
First two months was horrible + terrible. I called my best friend and cried. Husband do not understand my plight, he thinks that I am unreasonable. Staying at home whole day what can be so difficult ? He came home, ate dinner , played a while with lil boy and slept. I felt like I was in hell cos I had endless housework to do, I need to cook and I need to have the energy to chase after a curious toddler whom had difficulty with his solids and on top of that I still need to struggle to go marketing and runs errands since Husband is always working overtime and literally had no time for any other stuffs. Physically and mentally , I was drained out. I began to miss the times where I had lunch with colleagues and occasional pre dinner dessert at Jurong Point. Socially, I missed out alot of gatherings as I need to take care of the lil one and bringing him out at peak hours is literally a difficult task for me.
I felt lonely & distressed.
And gradually I survived thru the first two months. Began to find good opportunities to talk to husband regarding myself and occasional afternoon tea with my friends whom came all the way to Jurong Point for my sake ( I am really grateful for that) and I decided to bring lil one for school which gave me excuses and opportunities to travel downtown for window shopping or shopping in actual fact. I felt more socially in touch with the outside world. I began to organise my time better for housework and getting at hand with lil one's daily habits and routines. Things are gradually getting better and I am starting to enjoy my life as a SAHM.
Though there has been so much ups and downs in the route I had chosen, but the rewards are priceless. I get to hug the lil one to sleep every night which had been a dream that only comes true during my leave, he learns the bonding with me and would sit on my lap and watch tv together. I was the first one there to witness his first words: Daddy, Ma-mee, Bao Bao, Ball Ball, Bye Bye and not hearing all these thru my mother in law. I was there with him for all his developments - teething, learning to communicate, schooling, self feeding, drinking from a straw cup.
And to conclude the 4th month, I am now a happy SAHM.
P.S: although part of me still hope that I can go back to work and our life could be more luxurious than now. But for now, nothing matters to me more than the lil one and my family.
